Iridescent Cloud over Ethiopia

by Wordlesstech

Pileus Cloud

Behind this darker cloud, is a pileus iridescent cloud, a group of water droplets that have a uniformly similar size and so together diffract different colors of sunlight by different amounts. The above image was taken just after the picturesque sight was noticed by chance by a photographer in EthiopiaPhotographer Esther Havens
